Dream debuts

Federico Macheda's stunning late winner against Aston Villa was an eye-catching way to introduce himself as a Manchester United player.

Indeed, the 17-year-old Italian's wonderful last-gasp strike (pictured) may yet prove to have a huge bearing on where the Premier League title ends up come the conclusion of the season in May.

But Macheda is by no means the first - nor will he be the last - to enjoy a spectacular introduction, as our selection of other star debutants shows below.

Alan Shearer (Southampton 4-2 Arsenal, First Division, April 1988) - A hat-trick on a debut is always a supremely impressive feat, but what makes this one stand out is that Shearer was just 17 when his three goals made the country sit up and take notice of his talent. Not forgetting that it came against Arsenal either, the League Cup holders and the same side that would go on to win the championship the following season. Shearer's scoring feat was good enough to break a long-standing record set by Jimmy Greaves for the youngest player to score a top flight hat-trick.

Zinedine Zidane (France 2-2 Czech Republic, international friendly, August 1994) - You know the name by now, but 15 years ago few outside of France knew the then 22-year-old Zidane. That soon changed after a magnificent bow on the international stage during which he scored twice off the bench to salvage a 2-2 draw against the newly-formed Czech Republic. The first came from a mazy dribble rounded off by a 25-yard screamer while the second was a towering bullet header. Both became trademarks as he went on to become one of the best players the world has seen.

Fabrizio Ravanelli (Middlesbrough 3-3 Liverpool, August 1996) - One of Boro's more successful foreign imports during the 1990s, the Silver Feather immediately ingratiated himself to the Riverside faithful with a hat-trick on his debut on the opening day of the season. Again, the team in question were far from slouches, which only further enhanced the former Juventus striker's reputation as a born goalscorer, although his goals could not save the from relegation.

Wayne Rooney (Manchester United 6-2 Fenerbahce, Champions League, September 2004) - Rooney was keen to impress his new club after having signed from Everton for £25.6 million earlier in the summer, but not even his biggest fans could have expected him to make such an immediate impact. Returning from an injury sustained while on England duty at Euro 2004, a sublime hat-trick helped demolish the Turkish side and announce Rooney's arrival at one of the biggest clubs in the world - and on the biggest stage in club football.

And just for good measure, how about a managerial debut?

Diego Maradona (Argentina 4-0 Venezuela, World Cup qualifier, March 2009) - Not strictly speaking his debut as coach of Argentina - that came in a friendly with Scotland - but the romp in Buenos Aires was Maradona's first match in charge of a competitive game. And what a start it was, Lionel Messi inspiring the team to a comfortable 4-0 victory that prompted hopes that Maradona might well be capable of managing a national side successfully afterl all. Unfortunately, that promising beginning has since been tempered by a 6-1 pasting by Bolivia - Argentina's worst defeat in more than 60 years.
